An Advertisement for Modern Bicycle
Tom saw an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful modern bicycle which cost ￡50, so he went to the shop to have a look.
After examining the bicycle carefully, Tom turned to the shopkeeper and said, "There isn't a lamp on this bicycle, but there was one on the bicycle in your advertisement." "Yes, sir," answered the shopkeeper, "but the lamp isn't included in the price of the bicycle. It's an extra."
"Not included in the price of bicycle?" Tom said angrily, "But that's not honest. If the lamp's in the advertisement, it should have been included in the price you gave there."
"Well, sir," answered the shopkeeper calmly, "there is also a girl on the bicycle in our advertisement, shall we supply one for you too?"
摩登自行車廣告
湯姆在報紙上看到一輛很漂亮的摩登自行車的廣告，標價50英鎊，于是他到商店去看一看。
湯姆很仔細地看完那輛自行車后，轉過身對店主說：“這輛自行車少了一盞燈，但在廣告上的自行車是有的。”“是的，先生，”店主回答說，“但那盞燈不包括在自行車的價格里面，是另外收費的。”
“不包括在自行車價格里面？”湯姆很生氣，“但這是不誠實的。如果燈在廣告上，它就應該包括在你所標出的價格之內。”
“嗯，先生，”店主冷靜地回答：“在我們的自行車廣告上還有一個女孩，難道我們也要為您提供一個嗎？”

斯威夫特博士與小廝
在斯威夫特博士家附近，有一位富有的老婦人，她時常打發仆人給他送禮物。斯威夫特博士接受她的禮物，但從不給小廝任何酬謝。一天，斯威夫特博士正忙著寫東西，小廝沖進了他的房間，把書一扒拉，將一個包裹扔在書桌上，說道：“我的女主人送給你兩只兔子。”
斯威夫特轉過身來說：“孩子，包裹可不是這樣送法呀。現在，你坐在我的椅子上，看看我是怎么送的，并要記取這個教訓。”
小廝坐了下來，斯威夫特走出去，敲了敲門，等待回音。小廝說“進來”。博士進了門，走到桌旁說道：“先生，我的女主人向您致以親切的問候，并希望您收下這些兔子，這是她兒子今天早晨在地里打的。”
小廝回答說：“謝謝你，我的孩子。向你的女主人和她的兒子致謝，謝謝他們的關心。這兩個先令是送給你本人的。”
博士笑了，打那以后，斯威夫特從沒忘記送小費給小廝。
